Samatha/Calm meditation: first step of detachment from the body; Investigation of the body will bring detachment; Contemplate the long training of the body: digestion, walking, talking then thinking: 16 years of training before using the body as we want. After 45 y-o, the body falls apart, do you want to do it again & again?; Investigation of the senses: they don't bring real satisfaction, we always want more; Loathsomeness of the body: "take off the skin and all your fantasies about this body are gone"; Pleasure with the body: only comes to relieve unpleasant feelings (hunger, thrist, cold, tiredness etc.); Death contemplation: the 4 elements are torn apart.
